I am just a small town girl... well, woman! I was born and raised in Mt Shasta California and have raised my three children here in this mountain community. I have the pure joy of also having two beautiful grandchildren..
When I was 10 my grandmother taught me to crochet,,, A Granny Square patten was my first project. Her name was Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw, a tiny Irish powerhouse! All my memories include her crocheting... Tablecloths, slippers, doilies and blankets. As a young woman the bug got me,,, I began crocheting and haven't stopped! 40 years of experience and many beautiful projects under my belt....
Join me in this journey,,, passed down from generation to generation... keeping alive the skills and beauty of Crochet!
